Well, it is what I _meant_ and what I believe the op meant that you originally responded to.

No, it is not immaterial, because people have to be notified of “the significant known and potential benefits and risks of such use, and of the extent to which such benefits and risks are unknown”. The fact that the clinical trial is ongoing means that many of those benefits and risks are, in fact, unknown.
You can spin this however you like, but my point is that most people who are receiving and have received shots have NO IDEA that clinical trials are ongoing and the actual data has not been made available to the public (even to their doctors who are likely recommending it). This is the reality whether you would like to believe it or not.
- dragonwriter 5y ago> the clinical trial This is one of your many points of confusion; it is completely normal for even long approved interventions to have many clinical trials in varying stages. There are currently 92 trials for the Pfizer vaccine listed on clinicaltrials.gov, in stages from “not yet recruiting” to “completed”. And also 1,761 between “Not Yet Recruiting” and “Active” for the notorious untested drug aspirin. > many of those benefits and risks are, in fact, unknown That's kind of expected with an EUA more than a fully approved intervention (but even for the latter it's always the case), and why disclosure of potential unlnown risks is required with EUAs. You unsupported assertion that this requirement is routinely ignored would be a problem if it was true, but you offer exactly zero reason to believe it is true, surrounded by a lot of irrelevancies that show you don't understand the context.
